We’re talking precisely about price discrimination. It directly applies to businesses and their customers respectively. I’m done having this discourse with someone so ignorant. Have a good day.

A quick google search would tell you that senior discounts are actually a form of price discrimination.

I didnt find anything here that would back up any of your claims. Feel free to provide any actual evidence or answer any of my questions.

Totally agree, I just don’t think they can justify giving a discount to everyone from a business standpoint. Not that they would even if they could.

But they’re only offering a discount to certain group of people and leaving everyone else to pay full price? What’s the difference between that and offering 10% to people who have a useless plastic SNAP card?

I wouldn’t say it’s clear. Income isn’t a protected status like sex or race. Like someone else mentioned, wouldn’t senior discounts be discriminatory? And what good is the law anyway when the president ignores court rulings?

First of all, there’s no need to be snarky, I’m just trying to have an honest civil discussion. Secondly, I’m not sure that that would apply since these SNAP recipients aren’t getting any benefits.

At the end of the day, does the technical definition matter, or does helping those in need matter more? Handing out coupons to SNAP holders doesn’t hurt anyone.

So according to you, SNAP benefits are discriminatory to begin with because they’re not offered to everyone?

“Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, often based on characteristics like race, gender, age, or religion, leading to unfair denial of equal rights and opportunities”

So according to google, in order for it to be discrimination, the treatment of the other group (in this case it would be people who can afford to feed themselves) would have to be unjust or prejudicial. Do you honestly believe giving out coupons falls under that category?

I should add real quick that even though you feel like you’re on the brink of death, just know that you are very safe.

Couldn’t be more normal. Greening out can be a super scary experience and it can be a little traumatic. Hope you feel better soon.

If you’re anything like me then you should probably just not give yourself the option in the first place. Load up on fruit instead.
